First off, I
am talking about the importance of critique partners with Aubrie Dionne. I am also giving away a copy of my
space fantasy romance novelette Defying
Gravity, so please drop by and enter. Plus, Aubrie Dionne writes some
wonderful space operas/science fiction romance, so be sure to check out her
novels too.
Space fantasy
is perhaps the final frontier when it comes to the fantasy genres. It’s so
borderline science fiction that some would argue it is closer to science
fiction than fantasy. For me, though, science fiction involves well, science. Defying Gravity has wormholes, spaceships,
and mentions stars and galaxies, but the science part ends there. I created the
planets (Persea, Medusa, the brief mention of Aresia). I created the aliens
much like I would create a fantasy world with their cultures, type of magic,
and creatures. I deposited the main characters on a post-apocalyptic Earth of
my imagination.
When our
Earth isn’t enough, I believe we writers of fantasy can sometimes have fun in
other planets.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly, and Stargate are some well-known space fantasy/sci-fi fantasy/space operas.
Today my
space fantasy romance novelette Defying
Gravity officially debuts. What a better day than Valentine’s Day to have
space aliens, cannibalistic humans, and romance.
Homesick upon
the SS Perseid, Linia, a young linguist, thinks she signed up for a mission of
peace, but her crew members have another plan: attack the planet Medusa.
Bored with
his dying planet, Alezandros, a space cruiser pilot, joins the Medusan Army in
his quest for adventure.
When the SS
Perseid clashes with the Medusans’ space cruisers, Alezandros and Linia’s lives
intertwine. Sucked through a wormhole, they crash upon a post-apocalyptic Earth
and are captured by cannibals. In adjacent cells, Alezandros and Linia cast
their differences aside for a common bond: escape. But when romantic feelings
emerge between them, they might do the unthinkable because for a Medusan and a
Persean to fall in love, it would defy gravity.
What space
fantasy novels, TV shows, or movies do you enjoy?
